Turkish artillery units on Tuesday shelled IS group targets across the border in Syria, officials said, hours after rockets fired from Syria struck a Turkish border town, wounding eight people.
Two rockets hit the town of Kilis early in the day in the third such cross-border incident at the town in the past five days. One rocket struck a guesthouse while the second landed on an empty field near a bus terminal, the state-run Anadolu Agency said. The Kilis governor’s office said eight people were hurt and two of them were in serious condition. Authorities evacuated children from a nearby youth center that has been turned into a temporary school for Syrian refugees, the report said.
